Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Melady joins with strong bases in most areas, potent Hard Mode bonuses, good growths, and a high enough level to promote instantly. She has a high attack power and good durability, with a high Defense shrugging off most physical attacks and enough HP to survive a magic attack or two. Her base Speed is decent, and she has high enough Con to wield Killer Lances with no penalty, but she will need either a couple of speed levels or an immediate promotion before she can start reliably doubling. Melady fares well against most enemies; the only real threats to her are higher level Magic and Bow users, who can exploit her low Resistance and weakness to arrows. Giving her the Delphi Shield and a Pure Water/Barrier bonus goes a long way to help her survive, especially in Sacae where her arrow weakness would otherwise leave her vulnerable against the myriad of Bow using enemies.

Outside of combat, Melady has high Movement and flier mobility, allowing her to easily reach locations that other characters may struggle to get to, and decent Aid to rescue and bring allies with her. While she is unable to carry some larger Constitution characters, she can still carry many valuable units just fine. Her mobility is useful for several chapters in a row after she joins, flying across the desert in Chapter 14, above the waters in 14x, and beyond the mountains in 15, along with many more chapters later on with obstacles that significantly slow down the rest of your army.

Melady is a very valuable asset to any team, with solid stats out of the box, weaknesses that need little commitment to patch up, and invaluable flier utility all pushing her as one of the best units of The Binding Blade.
